Many people are overweight and have larger midsections than their hips. I do concede the average customer who would be interested in such a jacket would not be significantly overweight, but it might work for the right person. If he let it go for say 50%-75% of purchase price, he could use it toward another purchase. Since he is aiming for perfect fit, I believe this is the cost of doing MTM business as a consumer. You don't always know with 100% certainty that your custom...

I am consistently getting what I deserve. I paid $800 for a jacket and have received nothing. So $800 = nothing. Perhaps for someone who spends $$$$ on jackets, it may be nothing. However for me that amount could have been used toward other purchases. With that said, I do agree that the jacket fit isn't great. But at this point, I would sell the piece if I were him. At least he has something to sell.

Drew is sending by batches but he is going in chronological order. Good to hear that it's going to take him another year to deliver one month's worth of orders. At this rate, the 2014 guys will be grandpas. Thanks for the update.

I said, "I ordered a leather jacket 6 months ago and I'm waiting for it. It's going to be so awesome. The cut and materials used for the jacket are top-notch."

I have no qualms with Charly. I am very appreciative of his services considering the fact that he's not getting paid. He just feels guilty about the whole situation and is willing to contribute to finish out the orders. I very much respect that. It's his honor on the line. He has my utmost respect.
What I don't appreciate is Drew's lack of communication, blatantly false advertisements, leading on, lack of transparency, and the list goes on.
If he flat out came out...

Hey, why don't you send some people who want to buy the jacket then? Here's my ad posted several days ago with NO response... lol. http://www.styleforum.net/t/467547/toj-temple-of-jawnz-full-leather-spot-nov-13/0_50
